Stomach cilia in mutant mouse, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Section through the lining of the stomach wall of a mouse (Mus musculus) that has had the gene for the enzyme H,K-ATPase inactivated. This has resulted in the presence of cilia (hair-like), which would not normally be found in the stomach. Here, the transition zone (green) between the basal body and axoneme of one of the cilia is shown. The basal body is the site of growth for the microtubules that make up the axoneme - the inner core of each cilium that provides support and facilitates movement. Mice with H,K-ATPase inactivated have been used to study gastric cancer.
